Another nice satellite neighborhood in Vancouver - Kerrisdale oh Kerrisdale!…read more I like this little neighborhood south of downtown Vancouver. It would be a nice area to live in. It has a small walkable business area with loads of shops and restaurants. Well, not loads per-say, but enough. All locals here. You won't find many tourists because there is not a lot touristy stuff to see. You can connect to Arbutus trail (used to be train tacks) here and bicycle all the way to downtown. Also, it's a good place to travel on easily public transport to University of British Columbia (UBC) on West 41st Avenue. Good community vibe.

You can finish the block if you were to go into each and every store in about 1 - 2 hours (I have done this in a span of around 3 visits. It runs from W. Boulevard to Larch street along W. 41st. I visit the area at least 2 times a month on the way to see my best friend in the Dunbar area. 98% of the shops here have a very friendly vibe to them with the exception with the tea house (see review of that). Rain or shine I love walking in this hood.

stopped in at city square shopping centre to meet up with a friend for dim sum near city hall, and…read morehonestly, it's such an underrated little spot. on the busy intersection of 12th and cambie, this place has a bit of everything, anchor stores like dollarama, daiso, and sungiven foods, plus a ton of smaller shops that give it a cozy, local vibe. the glass atrium makes it feel bright and airy even on gloomy vancouver days. there's a food court with solid options, kin's market, and a few wellness spots. there's also hot yoga, fitness world, dental, a florist, salon, and spa, seriously, it's like a mini community hub. parking was super easy, two free hours if you validate with a retailer (over $5), and it's super convenient being steps away from the cambie canada line station. not your huge flashy mall, but it's got charm, convenience, and a lot of what you may need in one spot.

This review is regarding the PARKADE only, not a reflection of the mall itself or the stores…read morewithin. You MUST validate your parking at Sungiven Foods for 2-hour free parking, all other stores only validate for 1.5 hours - and I learned this the hard way. It was my first time driving to City Square, and I saw the sign in the parkade that read "Enjoy 2 hours free parking with purchase". I went to Dollarama first, and had my ticket validated there. I shopped around, and Sungiven Foods was one of my last stops before returning to my car. As I was driving out of the parkade, I was surprised that there was an overdue balance of $4.25 at the gate, even though I was in City Square for less than 2 hours (I had a timer on my phone). I called parking assistance and they sent Chandani to deal with the issue. She did not want to listen to my situation and was very rude and unhelpful. She kept insisting I pay for the ticket or go back upstairs to revalidate, and then walked away. I understand she may not have any authority to authorize anything or override the ticket, but she did not bother to listen or try to get help. I checked my timer, and saw that I was cutting it very close to 2 hours, so if I had re-parked my car and went back upstairs to revalidate, I would definitely go over the 2-hour limit. I paid the ticket and checked the website when I got home, and I understand that the City Square regulations states: -90 minutes FREE parking with a minimum $5.00 purchase from City Square retailers. -One retailer stamp per parking ticket allowed. Please bring your parking ticket along with you to the retailer for validation. I am upset because there was no indication (either on the website on signage posted in the mall or parkade) that the retailer stamp HAD to be from Sungiven Foods specifically (and be validated there first) in order to qualify for 2-hour free parking (instead of 90 min). Chandani also gave me the wrong information, and I would not have been able to re-validate at Sungiven foods anyways if I went back upstairs, as only one retailer stamp per parking ticket is allowed (as per the website). I did email the admin at City Square as well with my concerns over the signage, and asked for a possible refund. Chasity from Reception & Administration directed me to Precise Parklink in regards to the ticket refund. I didn't bother contacting Precise Parklink because on paper, I did exceed the 1.5 hour parking limit, but the reason for this is because of the misleading and unclear signage in my opinion.

Madison Centre has changed quite a bit. I used to live in the area and watched it being built. Back…read morethen there was only Save-on-Foods and nothing else. Parkade was so empty and this included the floor that Save-on was on too. To my surprise, this mall has changed significantly and has bought a lot more foot traffics by having restaurants and Winners being inside the mall. Parking is free but the parking spot may be challenging to park due to how busy it is and how small the parking spots. Along with the layout of the parkade. Nothing too special.

If you need to purchase food they have a Save-On-Food and if you need clothing they have a Winners. They also have a dental centre an eye doctor and a back to wellness centre. There is a Van City Credit Union for all your money needs as well. For your caffeine fix they have a coffee shop called Organic Coffee House at Madison. More recently a new restaurant has moved into the centre called Joey Restaurant and they have a liquor store called Bottle Jockey downstairs. If you live or work nearby this could be your one stop shopping centre!

On the second and third floor are the office buildings/ doctors. I feel like the busier area is on the first floor. There are no public washrooms in this plaza other than in the restaurants. If you do need to use the washrooms in the office floor (2 and 3), you will need a key. The building looks like it needs some love.

It is a quiet place with almost everything you need. Post Office. Pharmacy. Save-On Food grocery store, RONA for hardware and home improvement. Fabricland. Pet shop. Several restaurants, Starbucks, Menchies yogurt, banking services (TD and BMO), nail salon, Burger King and more. Now that I know Save-On is here, I have another option besides Safeway from the skytrain station. I like how compact the square is. It is small but it makes it easy to walk from shop to shop. You do not have to traverse a huge parking lot just to get across. It reminds me of Newport Village in Port Moody. I find myself a new place to chill on weekends.

some shopping trips are about getting in and getting out, but one can easily spend hours at park…read moreroyal. what makes park royal unique is that it's actually two shopping areas, north and south, connected by pedestrian walkways and a short drive. while both sides have plenty of shops, i'm almost always at park royal south. it feels brighter, more modern, and has a great mix of fashion, home, and lifestyle stores. my usual stops include zara, simons, winners, h&m, and osaka supermarket. there's also a cineplex on the south side. wish there was a uniqlo though. just outside the main mall is the village, which has more of an open air shopping feel. you'll find stores like home depot, anthropologie, and michaels, along with whole foods, starbucks, restaurants, and cafés. it's easy to turn a quick shopping trip into a full day affair. one of the things i enjoy most about park royal is that it feels less hectic than some of the larger malls around metro vancouver. the wide walkways, natural light, and open air sections create a more relaxed atmosphere, making it easy to take your time instead of feeling rushed from store to store. parking is plentiful and free, which makes it an easy choice when you want to shop without the usual mall hassle. whether you're picking up everyday essentials, looking for a little retail therapy, or simply need somewhere to spend a rainy afternoon, park royal is my favourite shopping destination on the north shore. often when i go, "i'm just looking," but we all know how that usually ends. maybe that's just part of the park royal experience.
